Typesafe, dynamic object store based on talloc
Usage
=====
Define some types:
A key/value store aka dictionary that supports retrieving elements
by key:
typedef dict_t DALLOC_CTX;
An ordered set that can store different objects which can be
retrieved by number:
typedef set_t DALLOC_CTX;
Create an dalloc object and add elementes of different type:
TALLOC_CTX *mem_ctx = talloc_new(NULL);
DALLOC_CTX *d = dalloc_new(mem_ctx);
Store an int value in the object:
uint64_t i = 1;
dalloc_add_copy(d, &i, uint64_t);
Store a string:
dalloc_stradd(d, "hello world");
Add a nested object:
DALLOC_CTX *nested = dalloc_new(d);
dalloc_add(d, nested, DALLOC_CTX);
Add an int value to the nested object, this can be fetched:
i = 2;
dalloc_add_copy(nested, &i, uint64_t);
Add a nested set:
set_t *set = dalloc_zero(nested, set_t);
dalloc_add(nested, set, set_t);
Add an int value to the set:
i = 3;
dalloc_add_copy(set, &i, uint64_t);
Add a dictionary (key/value store):
dict_t *dict = dalloc_zero(nested, dict_t);
dalloc_add(nested, dict, dict_t);
Store a string as key in the dict:
dalloc_stradd(dict, "key");
Add a value for the key:
i = 4;
dalloc_add_copy(dict, &i, uint64_t);
Fetching value references
=========================
You can fetch anything that is not a DALLOC_CTXs, because passing
"DALLOC_CTXs" as type to the functions dalloc_get() and
dalloc_value_for_key() tells the function to step into that object
and expect more arguments that specify which element to fetch.
Get reference to an objects element by position:
uint64_t *p = dalloc_get(d, "uint64_t", 0);
p now points to the first int with a value of 1.
Get reference to the "hello world" string:
str = dalloc_get(d, "char *", 1);
You can't fetch a DALLOC_CTX itself:
nested = dalloc_get(d, "DALLOC_CTX", 2);
But you can fetch elements from the nested DALLOC_CTX:
p = dalloc_get(d, "DALLOC_CTX", 2, "uint64_t", 0);
p now points to the value 2.
You can fetch types that are typedefd DALLOC_CTXs:
set = dalloc_get(d, "DALLOC_CTX", 2, "set_t", 1);
Fetch int from set, must use DALLOC_CTX as type for the set:
p = dalloc_get(d, "DALLOC_CTX", 2, "DALLOC_CTX", 1, "uint64_t", 0);
p points to 3.
Fetch value by key from dictionary:
p = dalloc_value_for_key(d, "DALLOC_CTX", 2, "DALLOC_CTX", 2, "key");
p now points to 4.
